BIG SKY, MT (April 8, 2026) — As summer travel planning shifts toward outdoor access and experience-driven itineraries, The Wilson Hotel, Residence Inn by Marriott, is entering the season with new offerings and a growing role as a base for exploring both Yellowstone National Park and Big Sky’s Town Center.
Located in the heart of Big Sky’s Town Center, The Wilson provides a flexible alternative to traditional mountain lodging, where guests can pair daytime exploration of Yellowstone’s wild landscapes with elevated dining, local events and a lively atmosphere just steps from their suites. Increasingly seen as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, The Wilson allows travelers to take advantage of peak wildlife viewing and seasonal access by day, while returning to a comfortable, amenity-rich home base. This dual-destination mindset of Yellowstone by day, Big Sky by night, is resonating with families, groups and travelers seeking both flexibility and ease.
“We’re seeing a shift toward travelers who want it all, including access to the iconic Montana landscapes without sacrificing comfort, community or convenience,” said Mandy Hotovy, General Manager of The Wilson Hotel. “The Wilson is designed to deliver that balance in a way that feels effortless.”
To further enhance the guest experience, The Wilson is introducing a series of new summer offerings designed around flexibility, wellness and outdoor exploration:
- A Spring Rejuvenation Package featuring a $100 gift certificate to Santosha Wellness Center, a local wellness center known for yoga, recovery treatments and holistic services, along with the option for in-room massage, bringing post-adventure recovery directly to guests.
- New grab-and-go breakfast and picnic-style lunch offerings, ideal for early Yellowstone departures or full-day excursions, with ready-to-go provisions designed for the trail.
- And a new Yellowstone Road Ready Package, thoughtfully designed for guests eager to explore at their own pace, makes hitting the road seamless and stress free. The offering includes a $25 Wilson Hotel market credit, perfect for stocking up on snacks and last minute essentials, along with a $25 gas card to fuel the journey ahead.
On property, the hotel’s outdoor pool serves as the center of the summer experience as a central social hub, where afternoons seamlessly transition into evenings. Guests can expect a lively lineup of programming, including Sunday “Bubbles & Brunch,” daily happy hour and live music in the lobby, alongside an updated seasonal menu at the lobby bar.
Beyond the hotel, guests are steps from Big Sky’s summer calendar, which kicks off with signature events like the Magpie Renaissance Faire over Memorial Day weekend, the Big Sky Farmers Market (June through September), Music in the Mountains in Len Hill Park, and ongoing Town Center programming throughout the season.
Together, these offerings position The Wilson not just as a place to stay, but as a launchpad for experiencing the best of Big Sky and Yellowstone in a single, easy-to-plan itinerary.
